Description: Founded in 1904, The Journal of Infectious Diseases is the premier publication in the Western Hemisphere for original research on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases, on the microbes that cause them, and on disorders of host immune mechanisms. Articles in JID include research results from microbiology, immunology, epidemiology, and related disciplines. Published for the Infectious Diseases Society of America.

The "moving wall" represents the time period between the last issue
available in JSTOR and the most recently published issue of a journal.
Moving walls are generally represented in years. In rare instances, a
publisher has elected to have a "zero" moving wall, so their current
issues are available in JSTOR shortly after publication.
Note: In calculating the moving wall, the current year is not counted.
For example, if the current year is 2008 and a journal has a 5 year
moving wall, articles from the year 2002 are available.

Terms Related to the Moving Wall

Fixed walls: Journals with no new volumes being added to the archive.

Absorbed: Journals that are combined with another title.

Complete: Journals that are no longer published or that have been
combined with another title.

Abstract

Heat-labile enterotoxic material released from Escherichia coli by polymyxin B activates the adenylate cyclase of pigeon erythrocyte ghosts in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The activation requires nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, adenosine triphosphate, and another component of the erythrocyte supernatant. The active species has a molecular weight of about 23,000-24,000 daltons, is inhibited by antibodies to the toxin of Vibrio cholerae, and is not irreversibly denatured by sodium dodecyl sulfate. Thus in many respects the active species from E. coli behaves the same as peptide A₁ of cholera toxin.
